Restoration of two trading Sundays a month rejected by PIH
20:52
The Polish Chamber of Commerce (PIH) urges the rejection of a bill proposing two shopping Sundays per month, arguing it would harm micro-enterprises competing with large retail chains. PIH claims the adjustment to a 6-day workweek has already been made, and reverting to a 7-day week would incur significant costs, affecting either profitability or consumer prices. They warn that such a change would lead to the closure of small local stores essential to communities.
PIH criticizes the lack of industry consultation and comprehensive economic impact assessment, highlighting that the regulation favors large foreign discount stores at the expense of local businesses and consumers.
